When Emma Watson announced she was leaving Brown University this April, rumors that the “Harry Potter” actress was bullied and subjected to dumb teasing — students yelling out “Three points for Gryffindor!” in her classes, for example — began circulating. But in a new interview, Watson denies this is the reason she left school. “It made me so sad when all this stuff came out that I left Brown because I was being bullied,” she told the Sunday Times Style Magazine . “It made no sense at all.

After a whopping eight films together, you’d think the folks behind all those Harry Potter movies would at least save a little something special for the cast’s final scene together, right? Well, not really, but the final Harry Potter scene for the trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint is actually quite fitting, as it’s a green-screen shot of all three heroes leaping onto a mat – as if to show the three of them leaping into their own respective futures now that their time with Harry Potter has finally come to an end. The scene in question doesn’t give anything away, and I’m not sure where it takes place within the film, but ABC Family premiered the behind-the-scenes nugget that shows us what was going on when the three Potter kids… Read More Read Comments

As the Harry Potter film series wraps up this summer, it looks like fans won’t have to say farewell to their good friend Potter right away.

The tour, which is called The Making of Harry Potter, is being coordinated via Warner Brothers Studio in London (yes, sadly you’ll have to travel across the pond to visit, though I bet it’d be more than worth it for you hardcore Potter addicts).

Before you Potter nuts start freaking out thinking the franchise will continue and reboot itself for TV, let us warn you that it’s not what you think. Ever wonder how Harry Potter began – not in terms of the character, but where the idea for Potter came from? Author J.K. Rowling was a struggling single mother when she first came up with the idea for Harry Potter while on a train ride, and now she’s worth over $500 million after penning the 7-book series and assisting on the wildly successful film franchise. Now, after watching young Harry Potter grow up over the course of eight different movies, folks will finally get the chance to see how it all began when a new TV film based on the life story of J.K. Rowling hits the boob tube at some point next year (we… Read More Read Comments
